ok orig. i was going to buy some all thread and cut it to size to use as bolts for the rear fender mount/ blinker mount but i went to home depot and got two 5/16 x 3" bolts and washers and two 5/16 hex nuts. shoulda seen the look on the girl's face when i walked up to get rung out, she looked at me like wtf is that? is that all you freak? a couple of bolts and washers? shoulda seen the look on her face when i whipped out my debit card to pay for it, $1.10! so pissed that she had to hit a few extra buttons, city of brotherly love i tell ya!
anyway, i chopped the heads off the bolts with my dremel and that left me just about the length i needed to thread one end into the blinker (with loctite) and thread the other end through the strut/fender and bolt er down with some more loctite but noy yet as it may have to come back off before i'm done. i must say though it looks so fvcken good! just waitn for my batt. box cover to be done and to order a new seat.
i also jumped on the fvcken suspension for all it's worth and can not get the thing to bottom out. we'll see how it is first big bump i hit. good thing is i cut down in the off season to prepare for the track season and only weigh around 170 (gotta be thin to fit in that suit) and i'm running the heavy duty progressives so it may never bottom out. thanks everyone for the compliments and HELP most of all. i bugged a lot of you for info so seriously i owe you all a fvcken BEER!
